fact that on the second day of Febru
ary, 1873, The Union Meeting Hous
association of Hyde Park drew al
order to C. S. Page, of whom the.
borrowed funds to pay up the balance
due for repairs on the church. Thu
order was drawn by Geo. L. Water
man, president of the society, coun
tersigned by j. S. Whitney, its secre
tary, and accepted by Alonzo Cob,
leigh, it's treasurer. The endorsements
show that the first payment was made
by s. A. Spicer; shortly after another
by HI. W. Hendrick and the book
keeper, in whose handwriting several
of the endorsements appear, was Miss
Bertha NJ. Sawyer. In less than nine
years it appears that six of the seven
persons above named have been called
to Z" that bourne from which no trav-
eler returns"
Hymen has been industriously at
work the past week, as will be seen by
our marriage notices. First on the
list is that of D. j. Fletcher and Libby
Kelley, both we'll known to the people
of Hyde Park. They were married
on Thursday last by A. V. Wiswell,
Esq, and we have no doubt Adna tied
the knot firmly and in a dignified man.
ner. Next is that of Geo. Jewett and
Alma Whitcomb, also of this town.
Rev. Mr.. Ward performed the cere-
mony last Friday night. On Saturday
morning the same clergyman was sum-
moned to the American House where
he united in matrimony Willie Bennett
of Wolcott and Mary OBrien of Eden.
The last on the list is that of Ferdi-
nand Gauthier and Della Papineau,
who were married at the Catholic
Church New Years morning by the
priest in charge of the parish. We,
on this occasion, announce all these
weddings "in a lump" and in the
same way extend congratulations and
best wishes to all. Next!
The change in the time table, of
which we spoke last week, went into
effect Monday morning. The mail
now arrives from the west at II A. NJ.
from the east 5: AZ NJ. The morn
ing tram for the west is an accommo-
dation train leaving here at a. NJ.
giving parties five hours in Burling-
ton and three in Montpelier. Re-
turning east it is mixed train TO this
point, arriving here at 7 Pm. The
Hyde Park train runs about the same
as formerly. Conductors Parkhurst
and Carr alternate in running the ac-
train Ranney, who is
good for nothing else, holds his place
on the mail and Hutton takes Park
bursts old place. Washburne con-
tinues as conductor on the Hyde Park
train. 1t is said the authorities have
in contemplation selling excursion
tickets to Burlington and return, good
for one day only, at reduced rate.
This. we think, would be "proper
caper,"
Everybody who lived in Hyde Park
a quarter of century ago remembers
a bright little fellow Familiarity known
as Rob. Coffey. 1t may be interest
ing to those who knew him to be in
formed as to his history since leaving
this place, Entering the United States
service Immediately on the outbreak of
the rebellion, be proved himself gal
ANT soldier, following the fortunes of
The Vermont brigade, we believe. IN |
Jill near = the last regiment in the bri-
rade was mastered out of service.
We think he engaged in merchantile
pursuits for short time, but soon
iFifted into hotel business, in which |
capacity he has proved a success.
For several years past he has kept the
eading hotel in Windsor. Vt. In the
SESSIONS of 1884 and 1886 he was the
popular door-keeper of the House of
and we observe that
be trustees of the soldiers home have
low arranged with him and his wife
o take charge of the institution which |
he trustees have recently decided to
ocate at North Bennington, vt. Rob-
rt was always deservedly popular
md during his residence in Hyde
Park we believe it can be truthfully
aid that he never made an enemy, or
vas guilty of an ungentlemanly act.
Ne rejoice in MS prosperity.
